Study of the phase composition and tribological properties of carbon tool steels after laser surface hardening by quasi - CW fiber laser
摘要： The paper contains the investigation results on the structure and phase composition of the laser radiation area (LRA) of the U8 and U10 steels over its entire thickness. In the present study, the laser surface hardening of both U8 (ASTM - W1-7) and U10 (ASTM - W1-9) steels in the air was performed by exploiting a quasi - CW fiber laser with a 130 W power and 3 mm/s processing speed. The phase composition of the oxide layer formed as a result of laser treatment (LT) in air, as well as the structure of the oxide-metal interface on the surface of U8 (ASTM–W1-7) and U10 (ASTM–W1-9) carbon tool steels were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was established that the thickness of the completely oxidized surface layers for U8 and U10 steels is 38.7 nm and 99 nm, respectively. The composition of the oxides of the steel surface after LT was determined. The presence of a wüstite-based film on U8 steel evidences the low wear properties of the LRA surface, while the thicker oxide layer of the modified U10 steel which contains Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 oxides with better strength properties, on the contrary, provides U10 steel surface with higher wear resistance. It was found that the wear rate of U10 steel modified surface decreases by more than two times, while the given value for U8 steel reduces no more than 17%. The paper reports the metallographic examination of the LRA structure. It was shown that the wear-resistant structural components that appeared after laser treatment lead to an increase in the deformation properties of steels. The maximum microhardness value of the LRA is 710 HV0.1 for U8 steel and 750 HV0.1for U10 steel.

Influence of Abrasive Materials in Fluidised Bed Machining of AlSi10Mg Parts Made through Selective Laser Melting Technology
摘要： Metal Additive Manufacturing technologies development is increasing in a remarkable way due to their great potential concerning the production of complex parts with tailored characteristics in terms of design, material properties, usage and applications. Among all, the most widespread technologies are the Powder Bed Fusion based technologies such as Selective Laser Melting and Electron Beam Melting. However, the high surface roughness of the as-built parts still represents one of the major limitations, making necessary the adoption of post-process finishing to match the technological requirements for most of the fields of application. In this scenario, Fluidised Bed Machining represents an emerging finishing technology that could overcome some of the limitations of the most common methods, especially in terms of feasibility for the treatment of complex parts thanks to the fluid-like mobility of the abrasive material. This work deals with the preliminary tests of the Fluidised Bed Machining of additive manufactured samples using alumina as the abrasive material, investigating the effects of a high abrasive/substrate hardness ratio condition. The experiments were carried out on small plates of AlSi10Mg alloy made through Selective Laser Melting technology, built in the vertical direction with respect to the building plate. The influence of the impact angle and treatment time were investigated under bubbling fluidization conditions. Surface morphology evaluations were carried out pre and post process by means of Confocal Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Weight loss measurements were conducted to evaluate the material removal rates as well. Results show a small influence of the specific impact angle, a slight reduction of the surface roughness and an asymmetrical effect of treatment, acting mostly on the sintered powders forming the peaks of the as-built surface.

Effect of Surface and Subsurface Defects on Fatigue Behavior of AlSi10Mg Alloy Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF)
摘要： The fatigue behaviour of an AlSi10Mg alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and subjected to different surface finishing processes was investigated paying special attention to the residual defects on the surface and the dominant fatigue failure mechanisms. Roughness measurements and qualitative surface morphology analysis showed smooth surfaces in the case of vibro-finishing and machining followed by polishing. The fatigue performance did not reveal to be directly related to surface roughness, but residual intrusions left on the finished surfaces. Post-mortem analysis showed single- or multiple-crack nucleation from pores opened on the surface, un-melted powders, or spatters considered as typical L-PBF defects. A fatigue limit of 195 MPa for machined and polished samples was obtained by substantial removal of surface and subsurface defects.
